What to expect
- Location: The mountain lies close to Soglio, Graubünden, in eastern Switzerland.
- Landscape: Dramatic granite faces and a high, rugged profile that make it one of the most recognisable summits in the range.
- Visit style: Mainly a mountain for experienced climbers, though its setting rewards anyone who comes to look at it from the valley.
